Summary of the contracting process

Innovate UK procured project-supervision services for a UK-based assignment. The requirement falls within the services category and is classified under CPV 79421100, covering project supervision other than construction work. The stated procurement title was “ITT For Project 10204874”, indicating a defined project requirement rather than a broad programme of supervision services. The work was to be delivered in the United Kingdom. Innovate UK was the buying organisation. The selected service provider was ZEC CONSULTANCY LTD, a small or medium-sized enterprise, showing that the requirement was suitable for an SME-scale consultancy. The opportunity would suit consultancies and independent project-management businesses able to supervise projects outside the construction sector and provide structured oversight to a public-sector innovation organisation.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. Innovate UK used a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender submission deadline was 3 August 2026 at 5pm, and the contract was awarded to ZEC CONSULTANCY LTD on 12 August 2026. The awarded value was £3,300. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 31 March 2028. The contract covers services rather than goods or works. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, while participation was not identified as suitable for voluntary, community or social enterprises. ZEC CONSULTANCY LTD is the sole named supplier and holds an active award for the requirement. The recorded evaluation basis is the selective dynamic-purchasing-system call-off route.

This award provides a clear benchmark for consultancies seeking comparable Innovate UK work: the buyer used a dynamic purchasing system to source specialist project supervision from an SME-sized supplier. A credible competitor would therefore need to demonstrate practical project-supervision capability outside construction, with the organisation, judgement and reporting discipline needed to oversee delivery for a public-sector innovation body. Relevant businesses are likely to be specialist project-management consultancies or small professional-services firms rather than general contractors. The modest requirement suits a focused provider that can deliver defined oversight without the infrastructure of a large national service organisation. Firms tracking Innovate UK demand should use this requirement to assess whether their project controls, governance reporting and public-sector delivery experience would make them credible for similar future purchasing exercises.
